Eye on the Jr: Photos from the Trail

When the trail leaves the road, we are fortunate to have enthusiastic photographers to get on snowmachines and bring the Jr. Iditarod to fans, family and friends.  Sharing a few of the stellar images captured by Whitney McLaren and Julia Redington during the 2024 Jr Iditarod.  Take time to notice every detail, feel the early morning chill and appreciate the scenery that the mushers enjoy. A picture is worth 1,000 words!

It’s a wrap for the 2024 Jr. Iditarod.  Congratulations to all the mushers and best wishes to the graduates.  God speed.
